Key Ingredients

- Sour Cream – either full fat or lite will work.
- Everything Bagel Seasoning – the most popular version of this is found at Trader Joe’s. There are plenty of other variations, though, that can be found at Target, Meijer, Amazon, and other online spice retailers. Or, you can make your own using the recipe above!
